Your praise for my ramblings is such an ego boost, you don't even know!

I'm also seriously reconsidering my "eh, whatever, the Say It thread is my happy place" stance on the boards, given that half the time you'll never know if someone took the dare anyway. Also, no joke, I had already planned on PMing you to find out if/where you were going because I am addicted to your food posts/pictures. There might've been a side plan to beg you to start a blog if you didn't find a new forum to put them on. Just a little one.

I am often quite flummoxed by NC.
I belong to forums with no censorship and no moderation and they are so different than here. Not better, not worse, just different. Sometimes people say the most awful things. People fight. People get irate. People call each other names. People aren't politically correct. People quit. People come back. People ignore. People get over it. With no policing or censoring.
Sometimes I just have to shake my head and shrug back here at the ranch.

Well, to be fair, ducky wrote the whole word with a single asterisk in place of the u.
I just still think that it's completely trivial to moderate foul language, of all things, and especially since it's not directed at anyone!

Aww, even though you don't post as much as I'd certainly like, I'll definitely miss seeing you on the boards! And yeah, the caps thing is so odd and annoying!
Hmm, I've been considering a tumblr. Maybe I should look further into it.

I've been totally out of all of this and either I didn't hit submit on my post or it was deleted.

It was a (very) vague vent directed at my nutjob sister that nobody but me would have understood. Just three words and nothing profane.

For the record Mike Holmes is well loved around here by me.

a thread was made on too much moderation. moderators deleted it. I will let that speak for itself.

WilE and RCW had another public disagreement(?) that got deleted(?). RCW was forced to take down her SIGGY CENSORED. Unclear on WilE's punishment.

someone swore (at an unrelated situation, not at anyone directly), but with an asterisk replacing one letter, which has always been alright. the post was deleted and quoted to be made an example of.

people are getting angry and frustrated --> more people are feeling comfortable chiming in long-held disagreements with the moderation --> moderators are allowing no room for discussion --> people want to discuss MORE --> more anger and frustration, general antagonistic feeling at being treated like bratty children.

whatever. I like to try to stay out of dramaz. I would like the moderators to know that I'm not trying to start a revolt or something. I understand that when people start venting about moderation, it encourages a lot of negative energy with no real solutions to be found. If you have new guidelines, then you are allowed to enforce them.

Saria, if you get a tumblr shoot me a pm. There needs to be someone else who understands my love of Korra.

They will try to bury us with false manifestos, inscribe us in wars against false enemies but we’ll sing songs about dying from loving the wrong cowboy and gospel; our bodies will burn in effigies of promise. I swear."

^Not just that, but there's such a thing as context. Profanity because people get heated and decide to insult each other is of course unacceptable, but threads where members just want to blow off steam? Really? Whose delicate sensibilities are offended by words seen and heard pretty much everywhere?

I don't know, but before today I figured I'm too lazy to start over and find another board. Now I'm not so sure. I had planned on PM'ing you to know if you have any blogs because I NEED YOUR RAMBLINGS IN MY LIFE!!!
